    Really? AGAIN? Do you not have anything BETTER to do with your life than try to make mine miserable for the last seven fucking years?

    That can't possibly be healthy.

    My thoughts exactly.

    That's, what, 3lbs a day? What are you doing, shedding your skin every day?

    One pound of body fat is about 3500 calories, i.e. to lose one pound of fat you need to consume 3500 calories less than you use. To lose three pounds you need to consume 10500 calories fewer than you use.

    If you're genuinely losing that much weight then you are losing water, not fat, which is really unhealthy and not at all sustainable. If you're not genuinely losing it, then you need to think carefully about what you're posting.

    Either way, there are better ways to get attention.

    These boards are slowly descending into an emotional ghetto.

    Slowly descending?

    TBH they're no better and no worse than they've ever been. Where you have teenagers you'll have teen-angsters and attention seekers. You'll also have some very genuinely unwell people. I have my thoughts on both categories but try to assume everyone is genuine- even if they're not, someone else reading the boards will be.

    People who lie about things for attention need to have a good long look at themselves. It's despicable and it can really hurt people with genuine problems.

    I've not been about as long as you have, but it seems to me that it's got markedly worse over the past six-to-eight months or so. H&W used to have the sticky thread, and a few specific issues threads in and amongst rashes, sprained ankles etc.- which is what I'd expect. It just ain't like that any more. Creative has been taken over almost completely by some of the *assume my choice of adjective* poetry going. And it's become more and more pervasive in Anything Goes.

    I'm with your sentiment almost exactly: I'm not going to reply to anything specifically, but it makes the boards extremely frustrating and grim reading - at best.

    The difficulty is that this has already been discussed and a lot of members agreed that certain things should be kept to the dedicated stickies but short of reporting individual posts you can't force people to stick to that. Everyone has different ideas of what is or isn't appropriate and that's always going to be the case. I'm taking my oar out now, because having said all of that it is probably true that this thread isn't the ideal place for this conversation.

    I'm sorry to read you perceive the boards that way. However, I'd say power to the thread starters - these boards are created by you guys and you have the opportunity to start conversations on the topics that you feel would bring more levity/enjoyment to the community... :)

    I need to wear shorter jeans when it's wet and raining outside. No fun walking around with soggy jeans.

    As Artic Roll says, that kind of weight loss is really worrying Cupcake. If you're feeling you'd like some support around issues to do with your weight and food then it's best to head over to health & wellbing and post a new thread where people will be happy to help you :yes:
